Sciences Po Eiffel Fully-Funded Excellence Scholarship for International Students

Sciences Po Eiffel Scholarship Invitation: Applications are currently ongoing for the Sciences Po Eiffel Scholarship for International Masters and Undergraduate Students. Interested students can see the details and apply if eligible.

Sciences Po only presents applications from candidates with profiles that match the priorities of the Eiffel scholarship. If you are offered a place to study at Sciences Po, we will inform you whether your application will be proposed to Campus France (the organisation in charge of this scholarship). Applications received from students currently studying abroad are prioritised over those from students already living in France.

Students cannot apply directly for the Sciences Po Eiffel Scholarship. Applications must be made through a higher education institution. If you are studying in two higher education institutions, you can only submit a single application. In order to apply, you must have already been accepted to a program at Sciences Po. For your application to be successful, it is essential that you respect our deadlines.

The Eiffel scholarship program, launched in January 1999 by the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, is aimed at foreign students whose outstanding ability has been recognised by French institutions of higher education who wish to sponsor these students for the rest of their studies.

The programme is primarily designed to provide an education in France to future decision makers in both the private sector and in the national administrations of emerging countries.

For the Sciences Po Eiffel Scholarship, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives priority to candidates from emerging countries and above all to those who are underrepresented in French universities and higher education institutions: Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and new members of the EU and the Middle East.

How many scholarship awards are available?

What are the benefits of the award?

Monthly grant. The Eiffel Scholarship does not cover tuition fees. Students offered a place to study at Sciences Po who receive the scholarship are therefore responsible for paying the annual tuition fees.
